SUPPORT FOR LIQUID-SOAP CONTAINERS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 9, 1921.

Application filed January 20, 1921. Serial No. 438,732.

will enable others skilledin the art to whichv it appertains to make anduse the same.

This invention relates to an improved sup port for liquid soapcontainers such as are found in wash rooms and toilets.

The object of the invention is to provide a support of this type whichis adapted for vertical disposition over a wash basin, the same beingprovided at one end with a simple clamp for connection to conventionaltypes of containers, and being provided at its opposite end with a novelclamp which has, within a reasonable limit, a very great range ofadjustment permitting it to be connected to practically all sizes ofwater faucets now in use, said clamp embodying means to preventexcessive movement of the device after it is once properly positioned.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent duringthe course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and inwhich like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout thesame:

Figure l is an elevational view of a conventional type of washbasinequipped with a support constructed in accordance with this invention;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged elevational view of the support. i

Fig. 3 is a top plan view thereof.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the clamp at the lower end of the supportwhich is desi ed for connection to the faucet.

i 5 is a section taken on the line 55 of F 1g. 4 and looking in thedirection of the arrow.

In the drawings, wherein the preferred embodiment of the invention, isclearly illus trated, it will be seen that the numeral 1 designates asupporting bracket which includes a central relatively long portion 2,the upper end of which is directed forward and laterally as indicated at3 and is provided at its outer end with an integral. ringlike resilientclamp 4 for connection to the lower end of the liquid soap container asdisclosed in Fig. 1. The lower end of the bracket is directed laterallyin an opposite direction as indicated at5 and this portion carries anintegral substantially rectangular fiat head 6 which constitutes a partof the means for connecting the bracket to one of the faucets. itslongitudinal edges with a relatively large notch 7 which constitutes aseat, this seat being adapted for receiving a portion of the faucettherein. The remainder of the clamp at this end is in the form of aU-shaped yoke which has its opposite ends threaded and extended throughpassages 9 with which the head 6 is provided. It is to be noted that theends of the passages or-recesses 9 adjacent the seats 7 are enlargedquite abit and the walls nearest the seat are curved as indicated at 10to permit the connecting portion of the yoke to be drawn into tightengagement with them if found necessary in The head 6 is formed in oneof order to secure the device on very small faucets. Nuts 11 serve toadjust the yoke. The manner of connecting the clamp 4; to

thesoap holder and the manner of connecting the device itself'to afaucet is thought to be obvious from the description anddrawings.Therefore, it is thought unnecessary to go llllDO. detall as tothe-manner of using the device;

From the foregoing description, it will be seen that I have devised asimple and faucet, is extremely novel since it enables the device to beconnected with practically all types of faucets regardless of theirsize.

' I claim:

A device of the class described comprising a bracket adapted forvertical disposition, the upper end thereof being directed laterally andformed with an integral clamp-ring for connection to a liquidsoap-dispensing jaw, the other end of the bracket being directedlaterally in an opposite direction and formed on its extremity with anintegral fiat substantially rectangular head, the latter having a notchformed in its outer longitudinal edge for reception of a portion of afaucet, said head being also formed on opposite sides of said notch withrecesses extend- 111g therethrough and enlarged at their outer ends andthe walls thereof nearest the notch being curved, a U-shaped yoke havingits ends extended through said recesses, these ends beingscrew-threaded, and nuts 10 on said ends. i

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

THOMAS MYRON DE FORE.
